Sometimes It Ends Up Just Being Pretty Dots

Sometimes it just ends up being pretty dots. I keep trying to find new and different ways to look at and predict barometric weather data due to the way that it tends to correlate with me being in pain. Hell of a motivator, you know? Some of the ways have been more successful than others. I want to tell you about this one for two reasons: What does not work is just as important as what does. Why I think it didn’t work. Where I live, pressure fronts typically travel from west to east, going across Illinois and Indiana before reaching Ohio. That meant that, in theory, I should be able to get barometric pressure data from OpenWeatherMap for stations west of me, and actually be able to see the “waves” of barometric pressure in the air. After all, my graphs from the barometric pressure from my phone clearly demonstrate when fronts move through. I got a sampling of 175 stations in a strip going from me to the Mississippi River, created a script to record the barometric pressure from all of…
